Poodle Grooming

We want your puppy or adult dog’s grooming experience to be pleasant and enjoyable.  We will do all we can to make it a positive experience.  We use praise and treats during the grooming session and free playtime in our home afterwards.  We only groom each animal individually in our home so they get specific attention, focus, and care.  Please note that grooming is very limited, may be relocated outside, and/or may require additional biosafety protocol while we have young puppies in our home to protect their health.

 

We suggest a 3-4 week regular grooming schedule for puppies and a 4-5 week regular grooming schedule for adults.  More frequent grooming may be needed during coat change and/or or long show coat.  We highly recommend a bath/fluff dry, nail trimming, and ear cleaning on a weekly basis for maintenance at home with quality grooming products.  Please book your next appointment at the time of service or at least several weeks in advance to stay on schedule.  We typically only groom one dog per day so appointments are limited.  Last minute grooming cannot be accommodated.  A complete makeover (8 weeks or over since previous grooming) without proper previous coat maintenance will incur additional time and fees.  Typical grooming appointments will be 1.5-6 hours depending on the specific needs of your puppy or adult dog.  We will text notification at the conclusion of grooming when the animal is ready for pick up.  

 

Full grooming includes bath, forced air dry (over 16 weeks old), fluff dry, shaved face/feet/tail/sanitary, hand scissor finish, nail trim and Dremel finish, ear hair plucking, ear cleaning/flushing, and Skin Works massage lotion on shaved areas (over 16 weeks old) unless requested otherwise by the owner.  Show bands to the occiput are included if requested.  Owner must inform us of any deviation from the typical grooming before the grooming session.  AKC or UKC show trim details must be discussed before the grooming session.  We use Johnson’s Tear Free Baby Shampoo on puppies under 16 weeks old.  We use quality Chris Christensen grooming products on animals over 16 weeks old.  Owner understands that payment in full is due at pick up via PayPal, Venmo, cash, or check (cash preferred).
